Zepla about FFXIV Relic and Square Enix not taking any Risks

[Boblawblah]

So the current player count almost equals the max player count of some expansions (on steam) and yet the players are disliking it because the player spike is higher for Endwalker? So hypothetically, if steam count hit 10,000,000 and then dropped to 1,000,000, that would be a massive drop, would you still say that the drop is all that matters?
